Permits are available for purchase one week prior to the start of the next month and must be applied for in person at Vaughan City Hall, Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at a cost of $52 per month.

Please note:Permits purchased once the month has started are not pro-rated and are non-refundable, but are interchangeable as they are not issued to a particular vehicle/licence plate number.
